The next steps for metallurgical testing are envisaged to include variability testing across the various mineralogical domains of the Kempfield deposit. This will require additional samples to be collected. The metallurgical engineer has prescribed a highly cost-efficient method based on collecting samples from reverse circulation (RC) drilling and protecting the samples from oxidation by storage within nitrogen-filled containers prior to freezer storage at the metallurgical laboratory facilities. This method has been determined by the metallurgical engineer as appropriate for the current stage of the Kempfield project, avoiding the need for costly dedicated metallurgical diamond drilling whilst making use of samples obtained for exploration and resource infill drilling.
Drilling to proceed as the top priority
Following its review of the Company’s projects, the Argent board has determined that drilling is to proceed at Kempfield as the top priority.
Planning is underway for an initial drilling programme, the design of which is guided by the new geological model and the Company’s internal project economics model that has been updated based on today’s metallurgical results.
The drill plan and strategy will be announced separately to the ASX on completion of the design work.
It was over 6 months ago that the new board was appointed, I really hope something happens soon... expectations are all pretty high.
